Special Weather Statement issued June 1 at 5:06AM EDT by NWS Gaylord MI

Effective: Mon June 1, 2026, 5:06 AM
Expires: Mon June 1, 2026, 7:00 PM

The combination of drying fuels, low relative humidity values, and breezy winds will result in elevated fire danger conditions across northern lower Michigan today. Easterly winds will increase to around 10 mph this afternoon, with gusts around 20 mph. Relative humidity values between 20 and 30 percent are expected across most of northern Michigan. These conditions support the quick start and spread of wildfires, so be sure to take the proper precautions to prevent fires from starting.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
